Flowers for the hair

When I was getting quotes from florists, a lot of them were asking me if I'd need small flowers for my hair. I never even thought about it. I did want a hair piece of some sort. I got a quote back from the florist I will be using at $17 for each comb. I would like at least 3 on each side, so that's pretty pricey to me.

a) Is this a reasonable price to pay? (NY area)

b) Did anyone else have success with a real flower arrangement in their hair or maybe someone they know? Should I just go fake flowers from elsewhere?

The price seems pretty reasonable to me. That's about what I normally see outside Philly for corsages, which are pretty similar amounts of work.

That said, 9 combs seems like it would be a LOT of combs/flowers. At that point, is a floral crown an option? It would probably cost less than individual combs. Do you have a picture of what you're thinking?

I'd decide how you want it to look first, and then get an actual quote done on that design. ... I agree - 9 combs sounds more like a full crown or a "u" shaped one.. And, depending on the design, you may be able to go with loose flowers instead of combs...

I found lots of great artificial flower clips and crowns on Etsy! I'd talked to my florist about making one and she said a lot of the styles I liked were very delicate flowers and wouldn't hold up in my hair, especially since its outdoors.

My sister got a gorgeous artificial crown on Etsy - it was so pretty and very reasonable too...

It really depends on where and when you're getting married, and what type of flowers. I got married in early October in central MA... it was a sunny, mild day, and my flowers held up beautifully throughout the evening! I had a crown of ivy, astilbe, and baby's breath. This picture is about halfway through the reception, you can see the crown is still holding up:That being said, if you're getting married on a warmer day, I could imagine that the flowers might wilt.

Yes, I love flower on the hair. Actually i like all the natural flower. and especially, I like flower headband on the hair. I like flower ornaments. and i like to make it with different styles. Flower headband with natural flowers look awesome and pretty.

That sounds gorgeous, although I can understand your concern regarding the price. If you end up going through with it, please send pictures! I'd love to see what the finished result looks like
